Hey Homeschool mom,
Throughout the years, countless people have told us they could never homeschool only because of the continual daily demands on their mental and physical state. We can definitely relate to that, as we’re sure every homeschool mom can. We’ve had seasons of great challenge and also great reward in this area.
In today’s episode, we discuss methods we used to keep the homeschool ball rolling because if we don’t have the stamina, who will? We're releasing this episode at the beginning of the holiday season for mom's to gain the strategies inside to use during this stressful season.
We are honored to have Deanna Hanson founder of Block Therapy join us in this episode. We were introduced to this unique exercise program towards the end of our homeschool journey and wish we would’ve known about it sooner. We both have reaped the benefits of this practice. Deanna will share the basic concepts for you to start using them today to reduce stress and improve overall wellness.
Be empowered,
Kim & Jenny

Hey Homeschool mom!
Are you dealing with negative behavior issues in your homeschool?
They can suck the life out of your day. BUT these undesirable moments can also be a chance to develop character by meeting and defeating the challenges. We’ve been fortunate enough with our own kids to have MANY opportunities (haha) to experiment with various strategies designed to turn burdensome behaviors around.
Listen in for some of our tired-and-true homeschool tips to tame behavior.

Blessings!

Hi Homeschool mom,
Are you struggling with respect in your homeschool? Does your homeschool schedule need some team culture built in?
Then listen in to be empowered. The battle is real...the mindset among you, your husband, and your children can either allow homeschool lessons to flourish or make them tank. We have been in that space when trying to lead your kids in a homeschool activity when the horrible feeling of losing control or disrespect slowly creeps in. We’ve escaped in the middle of the school day and hidden ourselves away in the bathroom praying on our knees. Trust us there is a better way.
Listen in and take away applicable strategies to help you and your family make the commitment to team homeschool, even when things go awry!
Blessings!
Kim & Jenny
